Regional Information
Rioja is the most famous wine region in Spain. Rioja and wine have a relationship that dates back millenia, since the Romans occupied these lands in the 2nd century BC. The marks of grape growing and winemaking have been part of the landscape, since then. The diversity of terroir is reflected in Rioja wines which ranges from easy-drinking young wines to more rustic, fuller styles which are capable to be cellared for years. It is the winemaking process that distinguishes rioja wines from other Spanish wines. Most top red Rioja wines are matured in oak barrels

Not a Reserva

Very disappointed in this. Acidic and sharp, did not appear to be corked. Reserva Rioja shjould be aged and mellow. I have another bottle to open and shall review again..!

Grown Up Wine

I’m reviewing this product because I got a free sample from Ocado. We have long been fans of Rioja and usually stick to the well-known brand. This was a good opportunity to try a slightly higher end version. Rich, smooth, plums, hint of cherry. A very grown up wine. We love it and will certainly be back for more!

A lovely smooth Rioja

Im reviewing this product because I got a free sample from Ocado. We really enjoyed this. A lovely smooth, well rounded Rioja.quite fruity but not cloying. I definitely would buy for special occasions a bit pricey for regular consumption.
